This includes electrification of our GO train lines. In Mississauga, the Lakeshore West GO line will undergo changes to allow for electrification and 15 min, all day two-way service. As demand increases, MiWay will respond accordingly to the service changes implemented by Metrolinx. 5 DIRECTION FROM ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENTS 1. Get more people living and working close to Clarkson Station to foster a transit-supportive community + meet required 150 persons+jobs / ha 2. Provide for a mix of uses and community facilities to create a complete community 3. Encourage walking and cycling / active transportation to promote a healthy community 6 SCOPE OF THIS STUDY To prepare for these changes and directions, the City of Mississauga is developing a plan for the area surrounding the Clarkson GO station. This Study will provide a planning framework to guide future development, ensuring it supports transit and contributes to the walkability of the area, creating a ‘complete community’. In addition, the Study seeks to: • Gather feedback from stakeholders and the local community • Complete a transportation assessment • Explore the possibility of employment land conversions • Develop a land use plan, policies and design guidelines 7 WHERE WE’RE AT 8 STUDY AREA CLARKSON-LORNE PARK NEIGHBOURHOOD CLARKSON VILLAGE SOUTHDOWN southdown EMPLOYMENT AREA rd 9 THE FINAL PLAN WILL: • Be compatible with the character/context of the existing neighbourhood • Incorporate a wide range of uses • Accommodate all road users including pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, car users, and truck drivers • Provide community facilities to support existing and future local population • Create a sustainable community that promotes green building design and enhances/protects the natural environment • Be consistent with the Clarkson Village Study, which locates higher density buildings in the west precinct of Clarkson Village • Accommodate a minimum density of 150 persons+jobs / ha in the Study Area 10 CONSULTATION TO DATE Community Meeting #1 On-line Surveys December 5, 2018 Nov. 20 - Dec. 20 105 people 28 people, over 100 data points One-on-One Interviews With landowners and Social Media Posts business owners in the study area 11 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 How will the Clarkson Transit Station Area look, feel and function? • Calm traffic • Improved pedestrian and cycling access • Good transit connections • Highest buildings near the GO Station • Mix of uses • Green space Clean, beautiful and safe for all to use 12 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 Open Space and Streetscape • Safe green space • Connections to Lake and Sheridan Creek • Pedestrian friendly streetscapes and trails 13 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 Mobility • More bike parking • Safe & secure bike parking • Safe pedestrian access to the Station 14 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 Buildings and Land Use • V ariety of building heights • Community facilities • Mix of uses • Places for people to work • Mix of housing 15 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 What images are the best examples for new buildings? 16 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 What images are the best examples for public space? 17 WHAT WE HEARD – WORKSHOP 1 What images are the best example improvements to mobility? 18 DRAFT VISION STATEMENT The Clarkson Transit Station Area will transform into a vibrant, sustainable, complete and mixed-use community where a diversity of buildings and a rich and connected public realm offers pedestrians, cyclists, transit users and drivers different ways to access, navigate and experience the area.

    APPENDIX 5 February 2013 APPENDIX 5 APPENDIX 5-A Paper #5a Transit Service and Infrastructure Paper #5a TRANSIT SERVICE AND INFRASTRUCTURE This paper outlines public transit service within the Town of Oakville, identifies the role of public transit within the objectives of the Livable Oakville Plan and the North Oakville Secondary Plans, outlines the current transit initiatives and identifies future transit strategies and alternatives. This report provides an assessment of target transit modal share, the level of investment required to achieve these targets and the anticipated effectiveness of alternative transit investment strategies. This paper will provide strategic direction and recommendations for Oakville Transit, GO Transit and VIA Rail service, and identify opportunities to better integrate transit with other modes of transportation, such as walking and cycling, as well as providing for accessible services. 1.0 The Role of Transit in Oakville 1.1. Provincial Policy The Province of Ontario has provided direction to municipalities regarding growth and the relationship between growth and sustainable forms of travel including public transit. Transit is seen to play a key role in addressing the growth pressures faced by municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, including the Town of Oakville. In June 2006, the Province of Ontario released a Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe. The plan is a framework for implementing the Province’s vision for building stronger, prosperous communities by better managing growth in the region to 2031. The plan outlines strategies for managing growth with emphasis on reducing dependence on the automobile and “promotes transit, cycling and walking”. In addition, the plan establishes “urban growth centres” as locations for accommodating a significant share of population and employment growth.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

    Understanding Factors Associated With Commuter Rail Ridership A Demand Elasticity Study of the GO Transit Rail Network by Aaron Shantz A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Environmental Studies in Planning Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2021 © Aaron Shantz 2021 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that this thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Mode share in major North American cities is currently dominated by private automobile use. Planners have theorized that transitioning commuter rail systems to regional rail networks is a viable method to increase ridership and stabilize mode share. This process is currently underway in Ontario, Canada, as the amount and frequency of service is being increased throughout the GO Transit rail network via the GO Expansion Program. However, previous studies have shown that transit demand does not solely respond to service quantity expansions. Variables related to the built environment, regional economy, network characteristics, and socioeconomic status of the customer base can influence transit demand to varying degrees. Further, the literature states that the travel behavior of commuter rail users is unique, as access mode, distance, socioeconomic status, and the utility derived from varying trip types can differ compared to local transit users. These findings suggest that supplementary policies might be needed to reduce automobile reliance and stimulate demand for regional transit. Many transit researchers have conducted demand elasticity studies to identify what factors are significantly associated with transit ridership.

Metrolinx is championing long-term transportation and transit solutions that enhance prosperity, sustainability, and quality of life. Currently there are more than 200 projects underway across the region. More than $16 billion in investment has been made and construction is under way on our First Wave of projects, helping to realize the Big Move vision. More is yet to come. At our recent Board of Directors meeting, updates were provided on the following projects. GO Regional Express Rail Metrolinx is working with the Government of Ontario to bring faster, more reliable service to the GO network, a 10-year program that will provide significant new travel choices across the GTHA. With 63 existing stations and 7 stations currently planned or under construction, the GO Train network is the backbone of our regional transit network. More GO rail service will mean all-day electrified service every 15-minutes or better in both directions through core areas and running four times the number of off- peak trips including evenings and weekends with a mix of all-stop and express service to meet demand and reduce travel times.
